Someone said “Affleck, you the bomb in phantoms, yo!” which is a timeless quote. I actually saw Phantoms, forever ago, when it came to home video. But I couldn’t remember anything about it, so I went to YouTube and watched the trailer. I still don’t remember anything about it (other than—at the time—thinking that Affleck…
My wife and I are big fans of the Starz original series, Black Sails. She’s never read Treasure Island nor played Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag (which we’ll count as research for purposes of this show 😉 ), so it’s all new to her. But seeing Flint, Silver, and Billy Bones all together is wicked exciting.…
Like most geeks, I hopped on board the 2004 Battlestar Galactica sensation. Like fewer, I was still a stalwart fan of the original series. And perhaps on my own, I still prefer the original to the reboot. The original series was what it was and it did what it was very well. The reboot showed…

Well, I liked a lot of it, but what I found most inspiration from a creative sense was his characterization of his grandfather. A Colombian communist who…
Have you watched the 10th Anniversary Firefly Panel from ComicCon yet? If not, we’ll wait for you. That hour was well spent, yes? I watched it again while you were watching it. It was time well spent, I think. (Granted, I’m a hardcore Firefly fan.) There’s one scene in particular that struck me as amazing,…
So I’ve got some pretty awesome opportunities going on right now, of which I will not speak lest I jinx them. I will say that it involves rewriting two different manuscripts, which may seem horrible to the uninitiated but is really flipping awesome. I’m in serious crunch time right now and will be for a…
Sometimes it feels like I watch a lot of TV. I grew up watching a LOT of television. I was a living TV Guide. But I got tired of it and stopped watching for years. We don’t have cable in my house. We stream what we want to watch. Castle, Legend of Korra, Psych, White…
